So I wanted the armor to show the hit by glowing hot at the point of impact and stay glowing for a second or two longer and maybe show it on close ups with slight red glow or at least the carbon scaring along the hull.

Aah!

yeah in some particular scenes there are marks that created from blasters..but hell i love your idea!

Its possible with some sparks/particles to achieve that :D

EDIT:Now that easily could be a ROTS snapshot!

Still i prefer the non centering of the heroes:
